Happy Space Science Saturday! NGC 6946 lies 25 million light-years away and is a face-on galaxy, meaning it faces us, which makes it easy to observe. In the last century, it’s had 10 supernovae (vs. the Milky Way’s 2), earning it the nickname the Fireworks Galaxy!

"Meteorites & Astronomy, an Intimate Connection" 🔭 🪐 🪨

"When we look at craters on the moon in our eyepieces, we are seeing the impact sites that launched the lunar meteorites we now have on Earth in our collections. Holding a lunar meteorite is the closest thing we "normal folk" will come to touching the Moon where the Apollo astronauts once walked." 🌜 🚀

Meteorites and Astronomy, an Intimate Connection

The connection between collecting meteorites, telescopes, and astronomy.

"It's good for the soul, I think, to be reminded that we live on a planet that’s in a solar system that's in motion, that's part of a galaxy. I think for me by looking up, by paying attention to the moon and the planets, I get this real sense of the cycles of life."
